Customer Reviews
Chef Diao Manchester is definitely the spot for authentic Hong Kong–style dim sum. We really enjoyed most of the dishes — great flavour, fresh ingredients, and plenty of variety to choose from. Portions were generous and prices felt reasonable for the quality and serving size. The place can get a bit noisy, but that’s all part of the lively Hong Kong dim sum experience. A solid choice if you’re craving classic Cantonese dishes in a casual, bustling setting. Will return!
I have been here many times and the food is still top quality. They do traditional dishes and taste much better than the quality you'd get in London. I would say this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Manchester. Special dishes to try are the hand pulled noodles and sweet and sour pork. The dim sum is also good here as well. The atmosphere is okay, not a huge place but quiet enough to have a group conversation. The waitress was friendly and patient.
Amazing!! The loveliest staff and incredible food options. I went for the dim sum and bao buns, but my friends went for the kung pao prawns and the satay chicken. We were all really happy with our food and the staff were so lovely. Made us feel so welcome and gave some great tips on what to try!
